CANADA SHOWCASES F1® 2020 SPLIT-SCREEN AHEAD OF THE FINAL VIRTUAL GRAND PRIX

The final Virtual Grand Prix is here, and we’re marking the occasion with something special. Today, we’re focusing on F1® 2020’s new split-screen mode by showing off a three-lap race from Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, featuring Valtteri Bottas’ Mercedes and Lance Stroll’s Racing Point.

The Canadian Grand Prix has been a staple since the late ‘60s, and the race in Montreal has been a regular occurrence in the F1® calendar since the late ‘70s. With well-known features such as that last chicane by the Wall of Champions, and of course, groundhogs (which commentator Anthony Davidson will, unfortunately, know all about), the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve is a firm fan favourite.

For more social play with your mates (or, as we prefer: rivals) two-player split-screen makes a welcome return to F1® 2020. We’ve captured this in-game, and the race doesn’t just show off split-screen, but also shows several corner adjustments and aesthetic changes made to the Montreal track.

This Sunday, June 14, F1® drivers Alex Albon, Nicholas Latifi, George Russell, Valtteri Bottas and Pierre Gasly all return for the final Virtual Grand Prix on F1® 2019. The live broadcast gets underway at 5pm BST, with the F1® Esports Pro Exhibition race, before the Virtual Grand Prix starts at 6pm BST.

Watch on the official Formula 1 YouTube, Twitch, the Formula1game Facebook page and Weibo, alongside several international broadcast partners.

See you there!
